Up to 1,000 people flying into UK from India daily despite concern over Covid variant

Who are the ones flyign in via Turkey? Turkey is on the red list.

The people who flew from Pakistan? to Turkey stayed in Turkey for 10 days -and then came to the UK - not direct.

The UK policy is clear - anyone who has stayed in a red list country even transiting through in the last 10 days has to quarantine in a hotel.

If you spend 10 days in a non red list country you can then enter the UK and isolate at home.

If you are suggesting that is the cause of the outbreak in the Bolton and Bradord - then what about Bedford?

You really are demented.

i think there are exemption rules though, which if you work in one of a number of sectors (which there are many Indian and Pakistanis do as they are generally well educated hard working people) then they do not have to isolate in a hotel, instead they can isolate at home or in a hotel and the "worksite" becomes part of there isolation. they must not travel outside of these

The rules do not exempt you from red list countries and having to quarantine in a Hotel.

Red list countries
Applies if you have been in a red list country in the 10 days before you arrive in England.

You need to quarantine in a government approved hotel and take a COVID-19 test on day 2 and day 8.

From the other thread


You need help. The Indian virus came from India and spread in the UK in the two weeks plus India was off the Red List.

What don't you understand?

Tribal right wing supporter....the govt can't possibly be wrong

We have to allow flights between India and UK.....apparently the UK has signed a world beating trade deal with India, so there are thousands of businessmen travelling for all those mahoosive deals.
